So far this is only an assertion. In order to substantiate it you need to
provide some explanation of what the supposed division is about, including
criteria to differentiate one side from the other.

So rent by itself does not settle the question. How then do you decide
whether oil-producing nations are 'imperialist' or 'imperialized'? Sorry to
insist, but you have to provide a clear way to distinguish between the two -
otherwise we might start to suspect the distinction is IMAGINARY rather than
VERY REAL.
Still waiting,
